  1. Ok thanks. Does anyone know what unraid is using for smtp mail on the settings tab, notification settings to send out alerts?
  2. Ok where is the docker link for it?
  3. Is there an app or docker that can ping all my devices say every hour and if a device is offline it will alert me by email?

  6. Also is there a way to assign CPUs so it isn't using all of them?
  7. Yes I did see that but didn't want to drop the file twice if I didn't need to .
  8. Is there a way to have one watch folder and two conversion presets without causing issues? When I convert movies I do one for my server and a smaller one for phones/tablets.
  9. Ok I will try that out this weekend hopefully.
  10. Which docker as I thought there was two last I checked.
  11. Are these good drives to run - HGST DeskStar NAS 3.5" 4TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s High-Performance Hard Drive for Desktop NAS
  12. Guys with fall tv season coming up I am looking at this again. I still use my windows 7 box with mce as my dvr, rip the shows with MCE Buddy and play through plex on Nvidia Sheild. Is there a better way to handle this?
  13. What format are your hard drives? I was rfs and converted to xfs and my system now seems to be more stable.
  14. I just went through this with 5 - 3tb drives. I had just enough space to move data off of drive3 onto another drive without having to upgrade to 1 bigger drive or adding a drive. round [source] [dest] ------- ----------- -------- 1 disk3 disk4 Disk3 is new XFS disk 2 disk1 disk3 Disk1 is new XFS disk 3 disk2 disk1 Disk2 is new XFS disk 4 disk4 disk2 Disk4 is new XFS disk In progress.....Move Disk3 files from step one to empty disk4 Still need to do... Verify shares and excluded disks - don't think I set any up. Look at backup cron jobs and change where those point to. Power back up Plex docker make sure everything looks right. Change location for music in LMS. 2. Do I replace the parity drive first? Yes if you add the other 6tb drive as data. Also run parity check with new disk. 3. To get started how many drives should I buy? I was thinking 2 (1 for Parity, 1 for Data) That would be a good starting point 5. Should I move all 5TB worth of Data onto the new 6TB Drive or just replace one 2TB drive at a time? My thought is if I move all the Data to the new drive then I can go back and reformat the older drives to XFS and hopefully get a working Mover again! You could but you may want to do it like below when you move the files. rsync -avPX /mnt/disk1/ /mnt/disk6/disk1_RFS rsync -avPX /mnt/disk2/ /mnt/disk6/disk2_RFS rsync -avPX /mnt/disk3/ /mnt/disk6/disk3_RFS rsync -avPX /mnt/disk4/ /mnt/disk6/disk4_RFS That way you can move that back to the drives they were on. rsync -avPX /mnt/disk6/disk1_RFS/ /mnt/disk1 to move data back to disk1 after formatted to XFS. 6. Any words of advice, hard lessons learned, or oh crap moments you want to share? Make notes of your current system. Take screen shots if needed. Make a cheat sheet of your steps so you don't miss one.
  15. Almost done moving data from disk4 to disk1 Later tonight..... Stop the array Format disk4 as xfs last disk to format...... Move data from disk1 that is labeled Disk3 to disk4 and that should be it. Verify shares and excluded disks - don't think I set any up. Look at backup cron jobs and change where those point to.
  16. Ok so I am done with step 3 which was Move data from disk2 to disk1 this finished up right before leaving for work. Later tonight..... Stop the array Format disk2 as xfs Move data from disk4 to disk2 which will take a while as it is at 90% full. Moving along....
  17. So are you really after MCEBuddy docker style? I use MCEBuddy in my VM which works fine for me. Is there a reason you don't want to use MCEBuddy?

    Watch Folders

    Another option is MCEBuddy. http://www.mcebuddy2x.com/ I have it in my Win8vm to do what you mention. Basically it is setup to take DVR recordings off my HTPC and put them on my server. That way shows can be watched in any room in the house using Plex. All different settings you can do with it. I have been using it for 5+ years without too many issues and most issues are usually on my end.
  19. Most of my shares settings are basic. I don't believe I exclude any disks except maybe in a backup I do. Also I think my dockers refer to user shares so ok there as well. I will have to redo my monthly sync jobs but that isn't an issue. disk1 is still copying over to disk3 hopefully will finish up after work today. Looked like 60% moved out of 74%.
  20. Ok so I am done with step 1 which was Move data from disk3 to disk4 Now I have stopped the array reformatted disk3 as xfs and started moving data from disk1 to disk3. Hopefully data will be moved by tomorrow at some point and I will probably start the rest of it next Friday.
  21. It also won't matter that my data is arranged on different disks afterwards? So in my example Disk1 data will now get moved to Disk3 after disk 3 is converted to xfs.
